They are intended to emphasise the musicality of the instrument and to illutrate its many moods. [4. Pacific] The tune must predominate here. The open-string accompaniment should be very soft and the feeling of the swell of the ocean emphasised." - Ruth Nunn (1978) left hand fingering below the tab (taken from the sheet) - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - notes held, length of note, duration < < < - crescendo - becoming gradually louder > > > - decrescendo - becoming gradually softer |-3-| - triplet - 3 notes played in the time of 2 notes bpm - beats per minute cresc. - becoming gradually louder dim. - diminuendo - diminishing, gradually getting softer F. - Fermata - pause, note(s) held mf - mezzoforte - moderately loud p - (below the tab) piano - soft pp - pianissimo - very soft ppp - extremely soft subito - suddenly (p subito - suddenly soft) <7> - open (natural) harmonic on the 7th fret <12> - open (natural) octave harmonic on the 12th fret (C7) - barre lightly on the 7th fret with the 4th finger (C12) - barre lightly on the 12th fret with the 1st finger -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the latest version of this tab can be found at http://www.classtab.org
